A French tradition

Whether you're visiting vineyards or bringing the magic of France to your own back garden, the great outdoors is the perfect place to taste the love with LU biscuits

Every summer, many of us are keen to get outside and soak up the sunshine while it lasts. And whether you enjoy a beach trip or afternoon tea in the garden, you'll often find that sunny days feel that bit sunnier when they're spent with the people you love.

Like many family businesses, LU biscuits bloomed from these special moments of togetherness. It began in 1846 with the union of two young bakers, Jean-Romain Lefèvre and Pauline-Isabelle Utile, who brought their initials together to create the iconic brand. Now, more than 170 years later, LU's biscuits are still baked with a combination of simple ingredients and authentic French passion.

Though you may associate them with French holidays, LU recently launched a range of biscuits here in the UK. It includes Le Petit Beurre, which takes inspiration from the first ever LU biscuit, the Véritable Petit Beurre, to offer a wonderfully buttery flavour with a hint of salt. There's also Le Petit Chocolat, which combines a butter biscuit with a layer of indulgent milk chocolate. Here are a few other ways that you can channel some of that French passion into your love of the outdoors.
